This is absolutely sickening. There needs to be some kind of punishment for people who come forward with these false rape accusations. These people need to realize that there are real and severe consequences to their actions. It's far too easy for women to abuse this system and completely ruin someone's reputation and life.

This is the problem with the world. People wanting more government. Can't you see that is the root of the feminists, th eSWJ, the PC's every group wants more punishment for the other group. We're being divided and conquered while we ask for more and more punishments, restrictions and control.

Well something has to be done. Right now, people can make these false accusations with little to no consequences for the damage it does to the accused and their family. Damage that can never be undone. I'm all for other ideas.

The main difference being that those groups want people arrested for offending them. A false rape accusation can and will ruin someone's life, even after the charges are dropped. People are still going to associate you with rape, whether it was real or not. Rape is a serious crime, and those that file false charges on it should be punished in some way.

She accused him in a culture where a rape accusation means guilty until proven innocent and a reputation that is tarnished for life. Even if proven innocent, your name has been dragged through the mud and you'll get no front page apology from the media like the accusation pieces they run and your accuser probably won't fave any penalty.
